The Boks saved some face despite ending last (again) in the Tri-Nations competition by hammering the Aussies by a record breaking margin on Saturday 30 August 2008 at Ellispark in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Boks were awe inspiring in all facets of the game but a huge question mark remains over the Aussies’ commitment in a match that was for all practical purposes a dead rudder.

South African wing, Jongi Nokwe replacing the injured Brain Habana, also rewrote the history books by scoring four tries while finishing off devastating Springbok backline moves.

South Africa: 15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Adrian Jacobs, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Jongi Nokwe, 10 Butch James, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Juan Smith, 6 Schalk Burger, 5 Victor Matfield (c), 4 Andries Bekker, 3 Brian Mujati, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Adriaan Strauss, 17 Jannie du Plessis, 18 Danie Rossouw, 19 Luke Watson, 20 Ricky Januarie, 21 Ruan Pienaar, 22 Percy Montgomery.
